I'm looking to update my tripod system and im torn between so many options.
First a quick overview on what i do:I'm looking to get the tripod for basic DSLR video gigs, if I need something heavier in my setup I'll rent a heavier tripod. I'm currently running with Sony A7 set with some longer and "heavier" Canon lenses (24-70f2.8, 70-200f4 and Sigma 24-35f2, also some rented glass when needed). I'm also using Zoom H5 and looking to expand it with a cage to A7 and for a proper shotgun mic. I do...

Hi All,
I have Zoom h5 & Rodelink lav mic.
I am having trouble. I can connect the Rode to the input on the x/y module with good results. However if I connect it to the xlr input I get poor to no audio result. Any ideas on what the problem could be?
I also have Rode stereo video mic pro, I can connect this to the same xlr input znd it works fine.
This is a real dilemma, any thoughts or suggestion greatly appreciated.

Hi Guru's
I have the two cameras listed above and also have just received the Zoom H5. I wish to use it connected to the camera. are there any tricks ot tips I need to know for success?
The incamera mics kept picking up my congested breathing (due to allergies), It sounds terrible, like a hitchcock thriller!
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Hi Guru's,
I am interested in starting to video dog training sessions. I am keen to capture the audio of the handler and the instructor if possible. The distance from handler to camera position would range from 15ft to 150ft as they go through the various pattens.
What are you ideas on possible solutions?
Shotgun mic
Stereo mic on camera
Pair of lavalier mics on both parties
Separate recorder h5n
Best way to sinc audio during post processing

I am planning to record a 50-minute concert non-stop with my two-camera kit (Nikon V1 and Sony A5100). One being mounted on a tripod, and the other in my hand to shoot close-ups and B roll. Audio is recorded externally. Since the Sony A5100 would be definitely overheating after the 16th minute and subsequently every 5 minutes, I'm thinking of using it with Avermedia ExtremeCap U3 connected to my laptop.

The Sigma reviews better and is a bit lower cost. Anyone have problems with the Sigma?
